The best Mother’s Day sale on gadgets is in a place you never would’ve thought to look

If you want to take the easy way out, sure, go ahead and get your mom some flowers or some convenience store chocolates for Mother’s Day 2017. Seriously, the woman went through the trouble of giving birth to you. We’re not sure that a crummy little box of six stale chocolates does a very good job of communicating how grateful you are. Here’s another idea: Get her something she’ll actually use and really enjoy, so she can think of you each time she goes to use it.

When one thinks of where to go for Mother’s Day sales, big box retailers and department stores typically come to mind. Well, one of the best Mother’s Day sales of 2017 isn’t happening at any Walmart or Target, it’s happening online and in stores at Verizon Wireless.

First of all, you can save $100 on several of the carrier’s most popular smartphones. That includes a number of phones that are already affordable like the iPhone SE. There are also some phones included in this sale that you might want to treat yourself to, like the Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL. All you have to do is go to this page on the Verizon website and use the promo code VZWDeal to get the discount.

Of course, everyone knows that Verizon sells smartphones. What makes this sale so surprising is that the carrier also has a bunch of great Mother’s Day deals going on other gadgets, from Beats Solo3 wireless headphones and UE MegaBoom speakers to the Fitbit Blaze, Fitbit Charge 2, Google Home, and more. Head to this page on the carrier’s site to check out all the gear that’s on sale for Mother’s Day this year.
